Four Hills is tucked into the southeast corner of Albuquerque, where the city meets the mouth of Tijeras Canyon and the foothills of the Manzanita Mountains. Homes here range from the neighborhood’s early decades to newer builds, many on hilly lots around the Four Hills Country Club.
Stucco repair in Four Hills
Location matters for stucco here. Wind funnels out of Tijeras Canyon, especially in spring, carrying grit against exposed walls. Four Hills also sits higher than much of the city, so nights run cooler and freezes come more often in winter. Homes built on slopes can see settling cracks where the house steps down the hill.
We repair those cracks, recoat wind-worn walls, fix parapets and repair water damage, and we match the finishes on both older and newer Four Hills homes.
What we see most in Four Hills

Seasonal checklist for Four Hills homes
Four Hills homes do best with two quick checks a year. In spring, after the windy season, look at walls facing the canyon for rough or faded spots, and check cracks at window corners and where the house steps down a slope. In late summer, after the monsoon, look for dark streaks below canales, stains on ceilings along outside walls, and any stucco that stayed wet for days. Small problems found at those two times are easy to fix, and repairs done in spring or early fall cure best before the next season of wind or cold arrives.
Services in Four Hills
We offer stucco crack repair, re-stucco and color coats, parapet and chimney repair, stucco inspection and water damage repair, and stucco painting and elastomeric coatings throughout Four Hills.
Walls facing the canyon take the most wind. If they look rough while the rest of the house looks fine, a color coat on those walls alone may be all you need.
